SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO as i would imagine you all were watching the news seeing that there was a crazy earthquake........i lost a leg.....hahaha no but it really was nuts! luckily we were in the chapel for a meeting then all of the sudden it started and lasted for at least 2 minutes and it was strong! we were calm becasue the church is super safe but when we left to the street to see from outside it was nuts the roads were like spaghetti and everyone was running around crying and screaming "get to the mormon church!" haha in the moments when all seems to be coming to an end is when people realize where the truth is;) haha but it was a really neat experience! and the cool part is that since that day there are at least 5 earthquakes a day (smaller, but still strong) its kinda fun to be teaching a lesson or having lunch with someone when alof the sudden everyting is shaking haha so cool:) but all is good no worries:)
